Hello,

I have a 2017 Audi A4 1.4 TFSI with a Peter Vardy Warranty, that's coming to an end soon. I saw on the Audi website that they have an extended warranty that you renew every 12 months. It's valid up to 100,000 miles, but it doesn't talk about the age of the car, anyone have any idea about this, will my car be eligible, if you happen to have it, what's been your experience with the warranty?

Thanks

Does the electronic handbrake in Audis prevent roll back on a hill? My Audi A4 B9 1.4 Manual does not have the autohold (A) button. However on hills, the electronic handbrake only releases when the power reaches a certain level where I won't rollback.

Hi, last year I bought a used A4 B9 Sport TFSI

When I bought the car there was slight damage to the front fender (images uploaded) where the fender didn’t align with the bumper, it was hard to notice in person and I just left it. 
 

Last week my AC’s condenser was leaking and I got that repaired under warranty, however when it came to putting the car back together, the fender wouldn’t go back on. 
So the dealer agreed to replace the entire fender, and that’s been done, was all good for a few days till today. 
 

Now whenever I open my door, Kapow! A loud popping noise, seems like it’s from the fender. Guess I’ll take it back to the dealer and see what they do 

However I’m starting to worry that my car has been in an unrecorded accident, I don’t even know if this is the right forum to post this in, but any thoughts would be great, I doubt I’d get anywhere this theory since the car wasn’t written off. 
 

I’ve posted a picture of my engine bay as well just to ensure nothing seems out of the ordinary

Thanks, 

Hello, it does not bead. See I'm fairly unlucky with cars lol so my other car also has a leak.
I decided to pour water over both the leaks to see what happens.
The one with the beading is my 2nd car, the one without is my Audi.
I thought oil and water don't mix and will bead.
Does this mean it's not oil?
Thanks

Right my issue is so weird, when I just listen to music, it's perfectly fine, did weeks of just music via USB and no issues.
But whenever I plug in my phone for android auto and listen to music via usb at the same time, they both just cut out about 10-15 minutes into the journey.
They come back randomly but then cut out again, it might take a few hours or even a day for them to come back sometimes.
After coming back, if I only have the USB in, then it's perfectly fine, but if I have both in, then they both cut out again shortly...
I'm just relying on the Audi maps for now. A bit annoying.

Few more pics with one closer towards the centre of the car (seems like nothing is stained there)
Any idea on what the yellow substance could be?

Going to take it back to Petervardy soon (Hopefully they don't try to escape away from it)
They gave me a 0 advisory MOT in November.

Will take it in and do that for sure

May well be from further towards the engine
Do you know what that part is? Is it just a cover? The tray which appears to be stained.
To my eyes it seems as if it's leaking out of that plug thing, that's what made me curious as to what part it is.

Thanks.

Hi still worth looking under the cover/car to see where its coming from before whatever is leaking terminates itself, it could be a small leak from further towards the engine which is blowing down to the back of the car, like all cars Audi are not infallable and they spring leaks mine has done it a good couple of times since I have had it.

Hi is it a Quattro, if so its probably the Haldex unit sprung a leak, if not I would still be having the cover off for a peek as that looks like some sort of transmission fluid.

Hi, nope not Quattro

1.4 Manual FWD 
 

2017 A4 1.4 Sport TFSI (50k on the clock)

I I've noticed this stain on my driveway, it's been there for a while now and never really got time to get round to it. I've taken some photos

Any help/advice would be great, I have 0 CLUE about anything like this, I have no clue what component that is or anything. But that tray thing looks stained.

Thanks

My old Chevy Cruze did this, bought an A4 for that reason
I took it to 3 different mechanics and none of them could figure out what was wrong.
Don't wanna scare anyone, but good luck.

Hi I have a similar issue with android auto going off. I've updated my phone and updated to the latest AA version but no resolve. I've bought approved usb cables to ensure an excellent connection. I've been informed by Audi UK that it might be a MMI software update issue but Audi UK haven't stated that it will 100% fix this issue. Apparently no other business can update the MMI system other than Audi. They want £130 just to plugin with no guarantee of the fix.

Good luck

Is it just Android Auto? Can you play music via USB?

My A4 B9 Sport has front and rear parking sensors and the triangle camera thing on the windshield.
I've had the pre sense beep and symbol come on the gauge cluster a few times.
What I'm wondering is, can the A4's of this specification brake if we get too close to an object whilst reversing?

Thank you

Guys is it possible to turn of the active steering and only keep the audible warning?

Hello, 

I have the 1.4 A4 and I've just read that they stopped producing the 1.4 150, and the 2.0 150 is what they expect most people to buy.
Now I'm just curious, they both have similar hp and 0-60 times, the 1.4 has better mpg and lower tax, then why did they discontinue this engine on the A4? Is it unreliable? 

Thanks,

Hello, 

I’ve recently activated lane assist via OBD11 and it works fine, however… I did some researching before and read that if I have a button at the end of the stalk, I can turn off lane assist, I looked at my car, saw that it had the button at the end of the stalk, and activated it…
I’ve only just realised that I had been looking at the button at the end of the cruise control stalk and not the indicator stalk‍🤦‍♂️
So I could turn it off via OBD for another £20, or is it fine to just keep it as it is? Does anyone use lane assist without the stalk? Had any dangerous situations? I am paranoid about the car veering me off the road on like a small country road. Any advice?

Thank you

Hello, so I have the camera on my windshield and have the multifunction cruise control stalk.
I can activate the lane keep warning via OBD, which should work.
However, can I also activate the lane assist steering support? Where the car will pull back into the lane? 
Or does that require like additional motors etc? Thanks

Yup ty, aw thought I could change the colour lol. But settings only has the option to change the brightness. I think that's another option

Haven’t picked up the car yet, but I noticed that my cup holders were illuminated on the test drive. Does that mean my car has the LED interior lighting package? Is that standard on sport? Does this mean the door panel is illuminated too?

Hi, I bought a B9 Audi A4 Sport 1.4 TFSI

The SE trim was also the same price but the sport sounded nicer lol.

Heard it has lower springs etc, how does that affect the ride? Anything else that's different compared to the SE? I think the seats are also different, but are they generally more comfortable?
I've also noticed my car has a piano black trim running across the dash under the ac vents. But literally every other A4 I look at online has the silver trim?
